Two months ago, two matches between heavyweight champions Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua declared epic fun. The venue and date of the first match on August 14 in Saudi Arabia are now known. The 32-year-old historian from Manchester made the revelation in a video posted on his social media account.

“I can not wait to see Anthony Joshua in the best venue of all time.

In the ninth round, Joshua scored 24 wins and one loss, including the WBA, IBF and WBO belts, which he successfully defended against the Bulgarian Kurat Pulev in December 2020. The WBC title holder Fury lost 31 battles, but the last time he stepped into the ring was in February 2020 with Dionte Wilder.
